* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
As a member of the Montana Air National Guard and a political science student at MSU, I’m deeply interested in how local government shapes our community. I believe
public trust in elected officials is essential, and I’m committed to helping ensure Bozeman’s leaders are held to clear, fair ethical standards that reflect our shared values. My
military service gives me a disciplined, service-driven perspective that I believe adds a valuable perspective to the board.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
Growing up in West Virginia, I had limited exposure to diverse backgrounds. That changed in the Air Force, where I trained alongside people from all racial, cultural, and
economic walks of life—from Brazil to inner-city Mississippi. This experience deepened my understanding of the varied lived realities that shape our country and highlighted
the importance of inclusion, respect, and empathy.

How did you hear about this board or vacancy?
I was looking for meaningful ways to get involved in my community and discovered this vacancy while exploring opportunities to serve locally.
Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
I bring a unique perspective as someone from West Virginia who chose to make Montana home—joining the Montana Air National Guard and studying at MSU. My
background, commitment to this community, and student perspective offer valuable insight that I believe would benefit the board. I’m passionate about public service,
ethics, and good governance, and I want to help ensure that local decisions are made with integrity, fairness, and transparency for all residing in Bozeman.
